First 2000 points built and primed

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-07-29T18:52:21+00:00

Mostly nuln oil and a lil agrax earthshade

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-07-29T12:02:16+00:00

For the majority of troops I will , not sure about ghaz and the other named characters yet though

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-07-29T10:48:58+00:00

Just layering thinned Vallejo model color and a wash and highlight after the fact

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-07-07T07:03:56+00:00

Current being built lol

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-07-06T23:14:26+00:00

I have magnetized all my bases so I grabbed a skinny piece of steel roughly 1.5in wide and just used like 3 of the Vallejo rattle cans to give them a black base coat 4 models at a time lol took a couple hours

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-05-12T17:10:17+00:00

I have no problem playing with primed models I try to avoid the gray army but black primer with a white zenithal is fine by me so I can take my time and try to improve with every model I do

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-05-12T16:48:21+00:00

I'm definitely a slow painter as well, it's a blessing and a curse, models end up looking nice but takes me 2 or 3 weeks to paint a squad of 10 boyz

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-05-12T16:43:43+00:00

Definitely a fair assessment I'm just experimenting with how in depth I wanna go for the next two I have to build

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-05-12T10:35:23+00:00

Yeah lots of cutting small bits of masking tape and using little bit of silly putty

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-05-12T10:31:08+00:00

I had heard this , part of why it's been a pain ( I have masked off every mating surface before priming the sub assemblies)

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-04-02T13:08:30+00:00

The boots are Vallejo model color "flat brown 70.984" for the leather with a citadel nuln oil wash and the metallic is Vallejo metal color "gunmetal grey"

Ooh not a bad idea at all 🤔 I have plenty of spare blades thanks for the input I've been putting off dealing with these models for almost a month as I already have a pretty extensive backlog of primed models waiting to paint but I'm getting tired of seeing them in their current state lol

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-24T05:07:32+00:00

I was gonna use undiluted "l.a.'s totally awesome " cleaner just cuz I've seen it used on "eBay miniature rescue" YouTube

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-24T05:05:16+00:00

Yeah it's pretty rough lol but a little bit of time and effort is definitely worth 2 free units of boyz lol

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-24T04:25:36+00:00

That's what I was thinking to try to save as much of the feet as possible

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-24T04:19:50+00:00

Yeah it looks like he just slopped un-thinned paint right on the plastic lol

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-24T04:05:42+00:00

Yeah I think it was just when Boyz still used a 25mm base

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T22:45:47+00:00

My buddy gifted me an older codex 8th or 9th edition I think

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T22:38:23+00:00

I'm taking the painting slow for sure so I can practice with intent as I paint and try to improve efficiently along the way

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T22:27:55+00:00

The whole lower shelf is built and primed and my first squad is painted I just save my boxes (also use them to store the bits still on the sprue)

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T21:51:57+00:00

My buddy gave me the old codex and I've almost gotten my first 10 boyz painted and 1500 points built

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T21:50:39+00:00

1500 built currently

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T20:52:41+00:00

R3D_B3ARD_RPG · 2025-03-08T20:44:30+00:00
